Question

​Secretion of ____ from the anterior pituitary stimulates ovulation in the ovary.
A) ​luteinizing hormone
B) ​estrogen
C) ​testosterone

Accepted Answer

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary and is responsible for triggering ovulation in the ovary. LH stimulates the production of estrogen and progesterone in the ovary, which are important hormones for regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that regulates salt and water balance in the body, while testosterone is a male sex hormone. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are not correct.
